"Intelligence" in this case means sentience.

Irina- that was a bug I fixed last night.

Alan- as far as bots that tell stories, you can get a list of them by going to "Bot List", unclicking the "No" under "Storyteller", and then doing a search.

OK ... Thanks ... much better now ... Sorry, I tend to freak out when one of my children gets sick ...

hi. I'm new here. I think the bot i created is retarded. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah! I started a bot yesterday...and I swear he's not getting any smarter. Maybe we have to learn more first...

One day is pretty quick to expect brilliance. Keep working on your bots.

My bot is almost two years old, still sounds retarded at times. Sounds almost human at other times...

You won't get it to be perfect, or probably anything close. Just try to hang in there until you can make it better, and it'll be entertaining nontheless.

Note: Bots don't improve themselves automatically. If you want it to get better, you have to add keyphrases and responses.

Hey!

I have a small problem that I can't work out. If someone asks my bot "Do you not like cats?" (cats being (key1). I want my bot to say e.g. "No, cats are smelly". But if someone asks "do you not like Bob"? I want my bot to say "No, bob is smelly". How can I let my bot choose "is" or "are" depending on if key 1 is plural or not?

I hope someone understands the question and can give me an answer

I don't think the bots can actually tell between singular and plural nouns yet. It's an unfortunate thing about the grammar processing system. You can use "Do not you like (noun)" to keep your bot from responding to "talking" or "to sleep" ... but you should try to make replies that will work with either singular or plural nouns. Maybe "(key1)? No way! I'd rather sniff an armpit!"

Thanks for answering so soon.
That's really a pitty

It is a pity, but keep it simple, difficult enough!
